With his curly hair and thick-rimmed glasses, the late Thai collector Petch Osathanugrah cut a distinct figure. In December, his son Purat "Chang" Osathanugrah finally opened Dib Bangkok in Klong Toey district. Purat “Chang” Osathanugrah is the founding chairman of Dib Bangkok, a new private museum that opened in December 2025 in honour of his late father, Petch Osathanugrah. "There is a spiritual core or a subtle thread that runs through our collection: art is a window to something deeper and allows for reconciliation. The opening is very sentimental for everyone," says renowned Thai artist and filmmaker Korakrit Arunanondchai.
